The New York Girl, StvIe.

A correspondent Of the Providence
Journal writes: There is an air of chic
and style about the New Yorker which
Is unmistakab!e. 1t distinguishes her at
once from the modest Bostonian and the
aspiring Philadelphian, and stamp, her
as somebody in whatever part of the
world she may be. The clothes she
wears are not different in cut or material
from those that other American girls in
the same circumstances POSSESS. True,
she spends an alarming sum annually
upon her ravish.ny toilets, but then
Priscilla Faneuil of Beacon street and
Martha Penn of Rittenhouse square
would show very much the same extrav-
agancc if their little account books could
be examined. Eut the New Yorker has
a decided advantage. Her 1.-the and
supple figure lends itself readily to any
5tyIc of garment, however grotesqu1 or
strange, and transforms it at once from
n caricaturc into the most elegant thing
imaginable. Whatever she puts on be
comes her. Huge hats, which stag ger
fashionable women in other cities, have
peculiar grace and charm upon the
heads of the stately beauties who prom
enadc Fifth avenue. High bonnets
cease 10 be ridiculous, AMI the nun who
loves TO crack c-ucl jokes about the alb
surdity Of modcrn hcadgear il silent
when he SECS the bcwitching cfTccs or
lofty quilts and ribbons surrounding an
arch and piquant face. The tremendous
tournurc, which looks 30 Exaggerated
anywhere Csc, suddenly strikes ia as
picturesque and beautiful addition to
tho feminine toilet when the New
Yorker adds it to her drnpcr.cs of silk
and tulc. No other won IN can ap-
prooch her in style.
The famous French millincrs VOW
that their work becomes a pleasure when

Household Hints.

Bent whalebone can be restored and
used again by simply soaking in water
few hours, then drying them.
Skim milk and water, with little bit
of glue in it, made scaldins hot, will
restore black Grape. If Capped aad
pulled dry it will look as good MS new.
If roses are wilted before they can be
put in water, immerso the ends of the
stalks in very hot water for minute or
two, and they will regain their pristine
freshness.
1t is good plan to wrap cans of fruit
in newspapers and put them away in a
dark, cool place. The wrapping in
paper and keeping in the dark is under.
stood to prevent the bleaching of the
fruit.
Oil cloths should never be washed in
hot soap suds; they should first be
washed clean with cold water, then
rubbed dry with a cloth wet in milk.
The same treatment applies to stone or
slate hearth
O.l-cioth may be improved in appear
ancc by rubbing it with a mixtur, of
half ounce of becswax in saucerful of
turpentine. Set this in n warm place until
they can be thoroughly mixed. Apply
with flannel cloth, and then rub with
n dry flannel.
For stains on white goods, dissolve
one ounce OF pure pcarlash in pint of
soft water, and to this solution add
lemon peeled and cut in small slices;
Keep the mixture in warm place for a
few days, then strain it, and bottle the
clear liqui for use. A little of this
poured on the stains will remove them;
as soon as they disappear the cloth
should be washed.
A bottle Of tur?entuc should be kent
in every house, for its ti3es are numerous.
A few drops sprinklcd where cockroaches
congregate will cxterminatc them Mt
once; also ants, red or black. Moths
will flee from the odor of it. Besides. II
is an excellent application for burn or
cut. 1t will take ink stains out of white
muslin, when added to soap, and will
hep TO whiten clothes il added to them
while boiling.

Holc Sno,c AHects The Climate.

The masses of snow and ice known MS
glaciers, which arc found upon high
noun tains, have been the object of many
studies; AMI it is mlttcr to be won
dcrcd Mt the same has not been the case
with the immense beds Of snow that
every winter cover parts Of Europe,
Asia and America, to disappear in the
following spring. 1t has perhaps been
thought that the latter have less influ.
cnce upon climate in general than upon
other more special phenomena. But the
observations that follow will tend to
show that this Influence exists and the
subject is we'll worthy TO be studied.
A bel Of snow covering the ground
acts rs bad conductor, and renders
the exchange Of temperature between tho
surface OF the ground and the lower
stratum Of the atmosphere slower thnI
it would bo IL the snow were absent.
This is a result Of tho porous structure #
snow, the interspaces Of which arc filed
with air. In this matter the condition
Of tho snow is Of considerable I'm.
portance; the minute crystals formed by
cold arc poorer con luctorg than the
larger flakes; but II the snow by alter
natcly thawng and freezing assumes the
form called ncvc, II becomes a much
better conductor Of heat. Farmers in
countries that enjoy cold winters arc
we'll aware Of tho protective nature of
tho snow covering, aud do not fear for
their grain when it iqthick.
The presence ofsnow thus assures
higher temperature TO the upper layer
of TIC soil than it would otherwise have,
and its thickness ism equally important
factor with its structure. BIT its effect
on the mir is different, for IL separates
the air from the warmth which without
its presence would escape from tho
yround. Stow also exercises an i'm
portant influence through its power of
radiation, which is dependent on its
whitcncss and tho extent Of its surface,
but in which thickness is not factor.

Women Outnumber Men.

In collection Of statistics based upon
the last census we find tho FOLLOWING
points of interest, says the Atlanta Con-
sijtution:
The total population OF the Union, rs
given in round numbers, is: Males. 25-
$4,000; females, 2i, 036, 600. The total
annual deaths were: Males, 301, 900; fc-
males, 1854, 900. In proportion to the
population, 3GS, 600 women should have
died to maintain the same relative NOR
tally with the men.
OF the defective classes there were of
idiots, 45, 900 males and 81, 600 females.
In proportion there should have been
20, 900 female idiots. OF The blind there
were 2O. 900 males and 90, 900 females.
In proportion there should have been "a
600 blind women.
ot the deaf mutes there were 1s, 900
males and 10, 900 females. In proportion
there should have been II, 600 deaf mute
women.
In alms-houscs there were 50, 900 men
an" 81, ooo women. In proportion there
should have been 33, 900 pauper women.
III prisons there were "a. 900 men and
5000 women. To maintain the pr opor-
ton there should have been 80. 900
women in prison, or ten times as many ms
were.
The only place where the weakness Of
women was shown was in tic matter of
insanity, the statistics of which give Al, :
600 men and 1900 women in lublic
asylums. To maintain the relation there
should have been only Al, 900 insane
women. When, however, it is considered
how much cause for female dementia is
